City structure
Ditzingen includes the formerly independent communities Heimerdingen, Hirschlanden and Schöckingen which were incorporated in the 1970s (or combined with the city).
The former municipalities are districts and at the same time localities within the meaning of the Baden-Württemberg municipal code, which means they have a local council that is headed by a village mayor. The local councils are elected in every local election by the population eligible to vote in the village. There is also an administrative office in each village, which serves as the local town hall.
The town of Ditzingen (in the borders of June 30, 1970) include the city Ditzingen, the estates Grüner Baum and Lerchenhöfe, the living places Maurener Berg, Oberes Glemstal, Ölberg and Steinröhre and the houses Ferbermühle, Tonmühle and Zechlesmühle.
The former municipality Heimerdingen includes the village Heimerdingen and the outgoing town Stetten.
The village Hirschlanden as well as the local villages Holzheim and Rotweil belong to the former municipality Hirschlanden.
The village Schöckingen and the living place Talmühle belong to the former municipality Schöckingen.[3]
